Thanks for the photos Kirby. It looks like it's welded down to the
chassis with plates. They look about the right size to meet SCCA
requirements, along with the rear braces and cross bracing in the
cab.<br>
<br>
Mark Skwarek had a shell with a similar roll cage already
installed. It was the perfect platform to start with, just add all
the necessary bits like interior, engine, trans, suspension, etc.
That's really the way to go for vintage racing. I don't think an
everyday driver car like mine should be turned into a race platform
like that. There are plenty of others out there already converted,
like that one.<br>
<br>
It sure looks like it's going to be a lot of fun; I feel a little
envious. I checked out the rules for the race group today and I
think you'll do fine with Tech. There might be some things they
want you to change but I can't think of what they might be.<br>
<br>
That's the way to do it, one Pantera for racing and the other for
touring the town with your wife. :)<br>

Pics of the roll cage. Ignore all the crap laying around… I’m
still working on it.

<div>David,</div>
<div>As for a ‘noise video’, that will have to be later. I’m
still cooking up the coolant ‘Y’ that I need to mount the
remote thermostat.</div>
<div>No cooling system, no noise video.</div>
<div>:-)</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I like your plan!</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I used Magnaflows on my Pantera 180’s, too. They were just
too damned loud for street use with the ‘mufflers' that came
with them.</div>
<div>I’ve attached one pic of the setup.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I thought I had a good plan, but the 180 flanges are not
pointed parallel. So all my good measuring and muffler
ordering didn’t work worth a shit.</div>
<div>The outlets are pointing at each other, so I had to rotate
or cant the mufflers so they’d fit.</div>
<div>Sigh….</div>
<div>Round mufflers would work much better, but I already had
them and started mounting them, so….</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Regards,</div>
